Users are invited to pan across the map and search for individual storms.

All the big hurricanes are logged - from Katrina, which barreled through the Bahamas and the U.S. Gulf Coast costing $108 billion in damage, to Sandy, the 2012 superstorm that virtually shut down Manhattan in October, 2012.

The landfall tracks are colour-coded, based on the severity of the storm.

2. THE POLAR VORTEX: A TEMPERATURE MAP OF CANADA AND THE U.S. USING DATA FROM JANUARY 12, 2014

You can view a high-res version of this map at the image-sharing site Imgur. It was uploaded to the site by Reddit user Slab_Heap_Pout on Sunday.

The polar vortex became the buzz word of the season earlier this month after frigid temperatures settled in across North America.

"It is a permanent atmospheric feature all year round existing at the North and South Poles. They are a circulation (on a planetary scale, not a mesoscale like a tornado, so it’s big) and are located from the middle troposphere to the stratosphere so it is an upper level phenomenon. The polar vortices are strongly reliant on large scale temperature gradients so in the winter, they are at their strongest due to the temperature gradient between the equatorial regions and the poles."

A variety of sources are compiled to create this simulation, and while Bleja admits the scale of the project makes it difficult for the information to be "100% accurate", he believes that the CO2 emission levels depicted are much more likely to be too low than they are to be too high."
